anything wrong" Han Sanqian frowned."What do you want me to check about these four cities" The Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng pulled Han Sanqian aside, asking with extreme caution.What's wrong"You wouldn't wa...On the school grounds, many eliminated geniuses, including the top powerhouses from various factions and sects, were all intently watching the last image floating in mid-air.

In the scene, a young man in black is wielding his sword, constantly parrying the attacks of opponents surrounding him.

"This Su Xinxun, he's still out causing trouble"

Of the thousand geniuses participating in the second phase of the hunt, Xia Mang, the strongest among them, had already cleared the fourteenth round of attacks but was defeated in the fifteenth. Yet this Su Xin was leisurely navigating the twelfth round.

Many geniuses looked strange.

Venturing into the Heavenly Heart Realm... is not about how long you stay, nor how many cycles you pass through.

After all, when facing opponents in the Skyheart Realm, you can completely eliminate each round of opponents in advance and quickly pass through each round.

But similarly, you can also 'creep' around, trying to buy time and drag it out until the attack timer runs out, at which point your opponent will automatically dissipate this round.

Su Xin clearly belongs to the second kind.

After figuring out the real rules of this second stage hunt from the sixth round of attacks, Su Xin no longer took the initiative to attack and eliminate those opponents.

Instead, the focus is on conserving as much spiritual energy as possible, only using defensive swordsmanship to block the attacks of these opponents.

Using the Shan Hai Scroll was just a matter of defense, consuming very little spiritual energy. Each time, he waited until his opponents' attacks reached their limit and dissipated on their own.

So, when everyone had finished, having been eliminated one by one, even Xia Mang had fallen in the fifteenth round of attacks. He had only made it to the twelfth round's final stage now.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Once again, after several consecutive collisions, the twelfth round opponent's attack time ended and dissipated directly.

Su Xin successfully entered the thirteenth round.

"Quite relaxed and pleasant."

"By only defending, he consumed very little spirit energy, of course, it was easy.

"

He's using the Beicang Sword Technique, isn't he That's the number one sword technique recognized by the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty.

On the school grounds, many talented students were discussing heatedly.

Although Su Xin has always been on the defensive, no one would think there was anything wrong with him.

After all, in this day and age, as long as you can withstand wave after wave of your opponent's attacks, it doesn't matter what methods you use.

On the thirteenth assault, Su Xin encountered those ten gun-wielding black-armored soldiers.

Ten black-armored soldiers attacked frantically, one after another. Su Xin couldn't be as relaxed as before, but it was only a slight pressure.

Northern Azure Swordsmanship, the number one sword technique recognized by the Heavenly Flames Empire.

With Su Xin's understanding of the scene, he unleashed the power of the Mountains and Seas Scroll. His swordsmanship rose in waves, effortlessly deflecting the attacks of all ten black-armored soldiers.

Soon, Su Xin broke through the thirteenth round of attacks and arrived at the fourteenth.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Spear after spear, like dragons.

Speed and strength are incredibly impressive.

Su Xin's stress levels soared.

"Though they were both squads of ten soldiers, the silver-armored soldiers in this fourteenth assault were far stronger than the black-armored soldiers from the thirteenth round. Su Xin's eyes flashed with excitement."

The next moment, whoosh~~~

A powerful surge of blood energy suddenly erupted.

From the moment he entered this trial space, from the first opponent he encountered to just now, in the thirteenth round, he only unleashed 50% of his bloodline power.

Now his bloodline power, has instantly surged to 70%.

Seventy percent of his bloodline's power surged through him, instantly amplifying his strength.

Here we go!

Su Xin let out a low growl, and his swordsmanship exploded completely.

Then the surging waves rolled, stirring up layers of sword intent, causing the ten silver-armored soldiers to feel like they were in a vast ocean.

And Su Xin, was like a stubborn rock in the middle of the vast sea.

Facing the relentless onslaught of spears, Su Xin continuously swung his longsword. The sword moved in strange and unpredictable ways, sometimes sweeping horizontally, sometimes slashing downwards, sometimes with a swift and cunning thrust... The sword light flickered constantly, each time deflecting or blocking the surrounding spear shadows with precision.

Ding ding ding ding~~

Inside the trial space, a cacophony of metallic impacts rang out.

"Wow, amazing!"

"This swordsmanship…"

All the talented spectators at the competition ground were astonished.

They all saw that Su Xin's defensive swordsmanship was very accomplished, with a high understanding of the artistic conception. It was obvious that he had already reached the first level of artistic conception.

...And this hunt, which took nearly ten thousand days, truly allowed him to transcend in terms of comprehension and understanding, reaching the first level. The only ones who could showcase this were Xia Mang, Tu San, and Duan Yunfeng.

As for Wu Chao, his staff techniques were incredibly powerful and his comprehension of the realm was extremely high. Perhaps he had reached the first level, but it hadn't truly been revealed yet.

That is to say, in terms of artistic conception and emotional resonance alone, Su Xin's hunting trip this time could definitely rank within the top five.

The first level of comprehension, coupled with Beicang Sword Art's Shan Hai Scroll... that swordsmanship resembles the vastness of mountains and seas. Most importantly is its layered method of deflecting force. Even if an opponent's attack power far surpasses his own, he can still directly withstand it.

“His cultivation was still a bit low. Even after practicing special techniques and unleashing his bloodline power, he only barely reached the threshold of the Void Breaking Realm. In this hunt, some people had enough strength to rival him, even surpass him. However, besides Xia Mang, none of them managed to pass through the fourteenth round of attacks.”

And this Su Xin, can definitely clear the fourteenth round!

Tian Ye Zong's Elder Mo spoke in a low voice.

The fourteenth round...

So far this year, only Xia Mang has successfully completed the hunt.

But the Su Xin in front of them, even a layman could tell that although the ten silver-armored soldiers put immense pressure on him, Su Xin was still able to hold his ground with his swordsmanship. As long as he could withstand it and not be defeated immediately, when the waiting time limit arrived, the fourteenth round of attack would be able to break through.

As expected, the ten silver-armored soldiers soon vanished on their own.

And Su Xin also successfully stepped onto the fifteenth round.

The fifteenth round pitted them against ten golden armored soldiers.

Before, Xia Mang also reached this fifteenth round and fought with these ten Golden Armored Warriors. However, he only managed to hold on for a while before being directly defeated.

Now, these ten Golden Armored Warriors are fighting Su Xin.

The long spear shot out with incredible speed, imbued with a strange spiral force. The void itself seemed to ripple with waves, producing a piercing sound as it cleaved through the air.

Su Xin still used all her strength to wield the Mountain and Sea Sword Art to defend.

Here we go!

A collision, a terrifying force instantly transmitted.

Although he blocked the spear, Su Xin felt a numbness in his arm.

"What a terrifying power!"

This power is probably already not weaker than that of the Great Monk Wuchao's staff.

A flicker of astonishment crossed Su Xin's eyes.

Before, in the hunting ground, Su Xin clashed with that great monk Wu Chao. The latter's casual swing of his stone staff was so powerful that it still lingers fresh in Su Xin's memory to this day.

With a single blow, Duan Yunfeng was stunned.

And now Su Xin could feel that the spear wielded by the golden armored soldier contained a power no less formidable than that of Wu Chao's mighty club.

The key is, despite the formidable strength of that Wu Chao's force, he was ultimately just one person. However, in this fifteenth round of attack, there were a full ten Golden Armored Warriors!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten Golden Armored Warriors charged in simultaneously, their spears either smashing down with fury or thrusting forward with deadly precision. Each blow ripped through the air, producing a deafening roar.

Su Xin still only activated 70% of his bloodline power, and could only rely on the Shan Hai Sword Technique to the fullest extent to withstand these terrifying attacks.

That's all for now.

On the schoolyard, everyone sighed in disappointment.

They could all see that under the siege of those ten golden armored soldiers, Su Xin had been pushed to his limit from the start.

Unless something unexpected happens, he can hold out for only a while longer before being utterly defeated.

"The Tianxin Realm, the further back you go, the harder it gets. One who reaches the Sea-Transformation realm can clear up to the fourteenth level, which is already the limit. As for the fifteenth level... it's not something a Sea-Transformation realm cultivator could possibly clear. Let alone Su Xin, who is only a nascent Sea-Transformation expert. If his cultivation reaches the peak of the Sea-Transformation realm, or even the pinnacle, then perhaps there might be a chance," Elder Mo said with a faint smile.

The fifteenth round of the Heavenly Heart Realm is indeed difficult.

The Tianyan Imperial Dynasty holds a royal hunt in the capital every five years. Every event attracts a large number of prodigies. Among so many generations of top talents, those who are qualified to pass the fourteenth round are few and far between. As for passing the fifteenth round...at least over the past twenty sessions, which is a hundred years, there has never been one.

We're going to lose.

Elder Mo smiled, looking at the mirror image above. Including the many geniuses present and the powerful figures from various factions and sects, everyone thought Su Xin was going to lose.

It could suddenly...

"Hmm" Elder Mo's expression changed.

Only within that trial space, under the siege of those ten golden armored soldiers, Su Xin had indeed reached his absolute limit. But it was precisely this extreme pressure that gave him a whole new understanding of swordsmanship. His mind naturally gained some enlightenment.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, with mountains as its foundation, what are mountains

Under the siege of ten Golden Armored soldiers, Su Xin kept thinking.

That terrifying might came again and again, each collision causing his form to tremble. In order to keep himself steady, he sank both feet heavily into the ground below.

It seemed like he was just trying to steady himself, but the moment both feet sank into the earth, he suddenly had a profound realization.

"Ground, earth"

Understood!

"Mountains and rivers, the reason they are so tenacious, is because their foundation is the earth. They are connected to the earth, and their roots are anchored in it!"

Even amidst the vast ocean, a rock can stand tall because it is connected to the seabed.

"Earth is the foundation of mountains, trees, rocks, and all things in the world!"

Su Xin still wielded his swordsmanship, yet he naturally blended with the very earth.

It was like a nail, hammered hard into the ground.

The ten Golden Armored soldiers' spear skills were still terrifying, each strike carrying an astonishing amount of power. However, Su Xin parried with his sword again, his movements appearing natural and smooth, yet noticeably more rounded and unified compared to before. Even though each strike from the Golden Armored soldiers was powerful enough to make his arm tremble and numb, he deflected them effortlessly.

But now, even as he resisted, Su Xin felt it was so much easier.

What's going on

"

This swordsmanship…

"

Among the many geniuses watching from the stands, including those powerful figures from various sects and factions, expressions of astonishment appeared.

They could all feel that Su Xin's swordsmanship had completely transformed.

"Breakthrough!!"

Tianye Zong's Elder Mo also stared at Su Xin in the painting with an expression of disbelief.

"Becoming one with the earth, perfectly natural, this is the grand accomplishment of Shan Hai Scroll!!"

As the first swordsmanship recognized by the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty.

The completion of the Shan Hai Scroll not only requires a profound understanding of its artistic conception, but also an unparalleled comprehension of swordsmanship and extraordinary talent.

Even among those at the peak of the Broken Void Realm, many who cultivated the Bei Cang Sword Art couldn't fully master the Shan Hai Scroll.

It was possible, but it achieved.

"Genius!!"

"On the swordsmanship path, a true prodigy!"

Elder Mo's eyes burned with intense heat, looking at Su Xin as if he were gazing upon a priceless treasure.

But within the trial space, when the Shan Hai Scroll sword technique broke through to a state of mastery, Su Xin found it significantly easier to deal with these ten golden armored soldiers.

He quickly made it through the attack time limit of these ten gold armored soldiers and passed this fifteenth round.

The sixteenth round, the opponent was once again a soldier of ten ranks, but he wore crimson armor and wielded a blood-red spear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even with ten soldiers attacking together, their power and momentum increased significantly.

Su Xin was firmly planted on the ground like a nail, her profound artistic conception swirling and rolling. She unleashed the Mountain-Sea Sword Technique of the Great Perfection realm to its fullest, frantically parrying the attacks of these ten soldiers.

And every collision, gave Su Xin a jolt of excitement.

"Hurrah, hurrah!!"

This is the pressure I, with my swordsmanship, am meant to bear!

Su Xin is full of passion.

Although these ten blood-colored armor soldiers were incredibly powerful, he was able to withstand them for a short period of time with his mountain and sea scroll swordsmanship, making it an extremely difficult battle.

Under the premise that he only activated 70% of his bloodline, he fought to the very end, pushing himself to the limit.

And ultimately, it was only when his spiritual energy was completely exhausted and his swordsmanship had utterly crumbled that he, by a hair's breadth, managed to hold out until the ten Blood-armored soldiers' attack time limit.

The sixteenth round attack, breakthrough!!

Su Xin, this young man who has only reached the cultivation base of Haida Cheng, was considered immature and inexperienced by many. Before today, he had been suspected by Chi Long Lou of having potential to be among the top ten warriors, but many people questioned it. However, today, he shocked everyone.

He doesn't make a sound until he bursts forth with a thunderous roar!
